The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

478 – Call me the devil

“They say that if you meet a doppelganger with the same face, one of you will definitely die… Fortunately, I’m from another world, so it’ll be okay, right?”

While ignoring the other person who kept stroking her face with an anxious expression, I was able to hear Ellie explain the general situation. The one over there is ‘Ross’ from another world who was brought to him by Patulga’s magic book.

It was also a monster with tremendous skills, one level higher than Ellie from another world who became a great wizard in the future. Ellie, who is serious about magic, admitted it without hesitation as if she was telling the obvious truth, so despite her slightly goofy appearance, her skills were trustworthy.

“… Still, this is my first time meeting another me in person like this.”

In all my travels around the world, I have never met another Ross. Of course, I met the observer, Ross the Longing, at the outskirts of outer space… He had the face of Jin Xian, not Ross. This is my first time experiencing the exact same face in real life.

“Oh, it’s my first time too.”

The other me, the King of Wizards, who heard my muttering, seemed to have just remembered-! He said, snapping his fingers to make a sound.

“right! Hey, pass on your memories to me too. I want to experience for myself what kind of magic it is. Above all, Ellie’s lack… “It was a little frustrating because there were a lot of missing parts in the one-hour explanation.”

“Do you want to rummage? I explained it correctly. “You’re too stupid to understand.”

“… “That’s right.”

I could see that these two had become quite close by the way Ellie tackled them without hesitation. Seeing the old Ellie after a long time made me smile bitterly. After watching them argue for a while, I opened my mouth without hesitation as the two people breathed together, giving me time to intervene.

“Okay, you two idiots. Done there. First, let’s start with the titles. “I don’t know what to call you right now.”

The two people who stopped arguing at my words looked in my direction and crossed their arms almost at the same time, like a comedy duo who had been working together for a long time. The first to offer his opinion was the Wizard King.

“Then I will give my opinion! “Objectively, I’m a little more handsome, so I think it’s right to call him a little more handsome Ross.”

“… “How about the maze?”

“Hehe, is this an abbreviation for Handsome Ross?”

“No, crazy Ross.”

When I saw signs of the conversation starting again, I quickly raised my hand to stop the Wizard King, who was about to throw a tantrum at Ellie’s opinion.

“I’ll just call it something that can be easily distinguished. As Ellie suggested, it would be better to abbreviate it more conveniently. The king of wizards… “Magic King?”

“… Does this last Ross have no sense of naming? The saint is infinitely meticulous in these areas… !”

I understand why this kid is a good fit for Ellie. Still, I insisted on suggesting the Magic King instead of the Demon King that was easier to call. I narrowed my brows with a slightly dissatisfied expression and crossed my arms.

“Then what do you want to call me? “Handsome or slightly more handsome Ross are excluded because they are uncomfortable to call and do not suit you.”

“… “Wow!”

Perhaps that was all the Magic King was thinking, so he was quite embarrassed to the point of shrugging his shoulders. Ellie spoke on behalf of the Magic King, who was pinching his philtrum and trying to get into trouble.

“Let’s just call him Demon King. bothered.”

“okay.”

“What?! Both of them have very poor sense? In the first place, the name overlaps with the Demon King! One side will definitely look like a fake! Even more likely, I am the surprise guest!”

Seeing that I really disliked this guy, I decided to just confirm him as the Demon Lord. As expected, Ellie is smart. Anyway, she is a demon lord who came from another world to help us. Thanks to the knowledge he accumulated in the labyrinth of another world, I was able to escape the trap set by the cult leader. If you are a sure ally, it is not difficult to show your memories.

When I created a snow globe containing my memories and held it out, I could see the head of the Demon King, who was observing me with a passionate face, bent almost 90 degrees.

“… “What are you doing?”

“No, this… Isn’t this the magic of this world? The structure itself is a dollar.”

“That’s right, this is the magic that Ross of Longing taught me.”

“Oh, so sometimes… okay.”

The Demon King, who placed his hand on the snow globe and absorbed the memories, trembled for a moment. Thinking about what kind of fuss he would make soon, I let out a tired sigh in advance. However, contrary to my expectations, the Demon King quietly opened his closed eyes and just looked at me with serious eyes.

Still, is he someone who can be serious when he is serious? As expected, he has reached the level of a great wizard―――!

“Konoyaro… !!! “How difficult was it!!!”

“W-what… !”

I unconsciously tried to push the devil away from the sudden hug, but this crazy guy used his natural magic to push my hand away and forcibly hugged me tightly. No matter how much you are the benefactor who woke me up… I never wanted to hug a man so passionately. Even more so in front of Ellie, who looked at us with a pitiful expression.

However, the tactless Demon King shouted loudly and almost cried.

“I-I don’t even know that… ! sorry! Honestly, in my heart, I thought you were an asshole… ! This is too expensive! No, my parents were so concerned that they gave me an extra piece of rice cake because my younger brother was inferior to me… The parents here are complete trash, right? “I’m sure I’m crooked too.”

“… “I’m not crooked?”

“no! Shiba, honestly, if it weren’t for Master Nelson, you would have already committed suicide! Until you met Nelson, you were almost… Should I say it feels like an Aton truck with a broken steering wheel?”

It’s been a while since I’ve seen someone insert song lyrics into a conversation. But somehow… Maybe it’s not that bad? Without realizing it, I stopped trying to escape the hug and muttered quietly.

“that… “Isn’t this an expression I haven’t heard in a long time?”

“It’s been a while since I said this, but I’m glad that someone finally understands! Twice, Girls’ Generation, Kara, AOA… “How difficult it was because of these pathetic people who didn’t know anything about this!”

“AOA… It was good. “It was just the heyday, so it was okay to play the music video repeatedly in the living room.”

“Hey, it’s recognition. After all, do we share the same taste? Hehehe. “It was a national rule to note the time zone for music-centered highlights.”

I too have had that experience sometimes. People in this world don’t know Sherlock Holmes or Harry Potter, so I’ve had people look at me strangely when they hear words like Watson or Muggle coming out of my mouth without me knowing.

I relieved my stress by sharing memories and talking about Luna and modern times, but the Demon King didn’t have anyone like that, so he would be happy to meet me with whom he could communicate. When I nodded as if I understood, the Demon King released the hug and held out his hand towards me with a touched face.

“Hey, Tomodachi… !”

I was caught up in the atmosphere, grabbed the outstretched hand, and belatedly cleared my throat and said.

“… “Hmm, but I remember that I wasn’t a nerd enough to use Japanese freely in everyday conversations.”

“People whose routine is to watch Raftel before going to bed are usually called that.”

“To that extent… Doesn’t everyone do it? “Even if it’s not Raftel, everyone is like Netflix.”

“Hey, is this the stage of denial? Netflix also focuses on anime rather than movies or dramas?”

… This b*stard was really me. You even know my secrets. I feel like I have a colleague I can trust and have my back.

“Assholes.”

At Ellie’s cold voice, we almost simultaneously let go of our hands and looked in opposite directions. They both forgot that Ellie was watching.

“What is that?”

I asked the Demon King, pointing to a strange creature standing in the middle of the road, prone on the ground on a hill under a cracked sky.

“Ah, you don’t know. As expected, you’re a cute newbie. To put it simply, it is a living being whose body is made of flowers.”

The way he speaks is quite annoying, but from the perspective of someone riding a bus in a labyrinth, it is natural to fly in as low a posture as possible. Based on the experience I gained from the game, I asked back, acting as naive as I could about not knowing anything.

“A creature made of flowers… ?!”

“Hehe, yes. Look at that body. Does it look like a lot of flowers bunched together? It looks like it will scatter as soon as you swing its arms, but it is actually a monster hiding tremendous power… .”

At the end, I swallowed my saliva and spoke loudly as I saw the Demon King trailing off and hinting that there was a hidden story behind his words.

“A huge monster… ?!”

“Hahaha! okay! What a monster. Ah, I remember the first time I dealt with that guy without any information. It felt like I was heading towards the ground. “It was the first time anyone had absorbed my magic and used it for themselves.”

“Absorb magic―.”

I quickly stopped reacting when I saw Ellie’s big eyes shrinking by half as she quietly looked at me from the side. However, the Demon King was lost in reminiscing about the past and could not bear to observe Ellie.

“The opponent absorbs my attack and uses it in reverse? Even so, I cannot simply ignore the know-how and skills I have accumulated over the years. But does the guy whose body is made of flowers have strong magical power and strength? Wow, I actually played tug of war for almost an hour. You can’t just pour in your magic power either. It absorbs that too! So this control of speed and speed is the most important thing, like a wheat field―――”

Today I was able to see for the first time a person’s face completely stuck to the floor.
